"UK: British Muslim Is 'Al Qaeda Banker'"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "On December 19, the US Treasury, pursuant to Executive Order 13224, designated a British citizen as a supporter of terrorism. Adam Szubin, director of the US Office of Foreign Assets Control, stated: "Mohammed Al Ghabra has backed al Qaida and other violent jihadist groups, facilitating travel for recruits seeking to meet with al Qaida leaders and take part in terrorist training. We must act against those who fund and facilitate al Qaida's agenda of violence against innocents."
The Sunday Times reports that Britain has agreed with the US and the assets of Mohammed Al Ghabra are now frozen by the UK Treasury, the Bank of England.
Mohammed Al Ghabra lives in Forest Gate, east London. He is a supporter of George Galloway's "Respect" party, He has spoken to the Sunday Times at his home, and denies the claims. He said: "If I am the moneymaker and this is why they have decided to put the sanctions against me, how could I have so many financial problems myself?"
Ghabra admits to being an active member of the Muslim Prisoner Support Group. This is an organization which campaigns for the rights of Muslims who are imprisoned as suspected terrorists.
Ghabra, born in Syria, is a known associate of Haroon Rashid Aswat. This individual, from Dewsbury, west Yorkshire, met Ghabra in a religious school in Lahore, Pakistan.
Aswat is wanted on an extradition order by the United States, for his involvement with Abu Hamza and James Ujaama to set up an AL Qaeda raining camp at Dog Cry Ranch in Bly, Oregon. Aswat was arrested in Zambia shortly after the 7/7 bombings, originally suspected of involvement in the London Transport attacks as an organizer. Aswat is in custody, and he was a member of Al-Muhajiroun.+

Friends say recently deported Ohio imam has disappeared
7 Jan 2007
DETROIT Friends and family of a prominent Ohio Muslim leader who deported to his native Palestinian territories say he has disappeared.
The U-S government reported taking Fawaz Damra (FAH-wahz DAHM-rah) to the West Bank. But his friends in Cleveland say no one has heard from Damra since he left. They're worried that he was detained by Israeli authorities on his way to Palestinian territories. His friends are planning a news conference this week in Ohio to encourage authorities to find him.
Damra was convicted in 2004 of lying about his ties to Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which the State Department labeled as terrorist. He had been held in Monroe, Michigan, since then.
